In internet slang, a troll is a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.), a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others' perception. This is typically for the troll's amusement, or to achieve a specific result such as disrupting a rival's online activities or manipulating a political process. Even so, Internet trolling can also be defined as purposefully causing confusion or harm to other users online, for no reason at all

As Res Ipsa has already pointed out, the regulars on this forum have interacted with each other for more than a decade on a regular basis. We know who the posters are here, and I cannot think of a single poster who fits that definition aside from the two morons who just joined. The closest thing we had to a troll was a poster named subgenius, but he left when the board switched over domains. Ajax isn't a troll usually, but he turns into one whenever he starts a thread and it is immediately shown that he's been dishonest.
